Funny thing happened....I was reading this hilarious website Saturday at 2 or 3 am i can't really remember..and I don't know why but words started popping inside my head and the following poem is the end result...the funnier thing that happened was that I ended up going to the beach, totally unplanned and certainly not my idea...pictures will be posted...enjoy and God Bless!

Insightful Beach
by Rita Martinez

How brightly lit is the day,
How brightly lit the night,
For moon and Sun are equal stars
dancing around the earth in delight...

The gentle breeze my cheeks caress
As clouds follow the windy trace
And mark the skies with lovely shapes
While waving down from up high.

The grainy sand my feet it molds
And pebble to pebble they crash.
The water doth clean my earthly flesh
As my body submerges in the tropical vast.

Now I lay myself behind a palm,
as its shadow my body embraces
And the rainbow of colors in my eyes reflect
while light from the setting sun warms the many faces.

 So I have recently been through a slight disappointment *sigh* and well besides God, I still haven't found that one person who I can open my heart to and pour my soul out...I've always wished for it to always be me and Jesus and Lord knows it..but He was right when He said "It is not good for man to be alone"..and I'm not talking about my chihuahua Penny. I need a friend. Lord, all I ask for is a friend. A christian friend, who likes going to church like me, who likes to talk about the bible and about You Lord. A friend who'll listen and trust me to listen back as well. A friend on this side of the computer lol! :P...Well thats it..Wherever he/she is may the Lord bless him/her dearly!

and May God bless you all!

      So i've decided that since next semester i'm going to have loads amount of free time, i'm going to take up on knitting. I don't know i've recently felt the desire of wanting to learn really bad. See, thing is, I've kind of resigned to the idea of not having a car or transportation so since I'm going to be home a lot, and I mean A LOT!! and I can't spend 24hrs reading my bible or studying, whenever i'm not doing those things I'll be knitting while I listen to some music.

   I've already found an excelent teacher, thanks to the internet!! :P it's www.knittinghelp.com, awesome website with helpful videos. I've been reading a lot on knitting, and the particular technique i'll be mastering is called Purling. I'll try either the Continental way or the English(the american) way, or who knows maybe both.

 

Well thats it for now..
God Bless you all!!

Ah! my favorite topic...Well i've been learning a lot this past week about friendships. I know I know I think too much, but oh well that is who I am..ms. I-over-analyze. But anyway, there is nothing wrong in learning new things each day, or refreshing our memory.

Yesterday afternoon, after spending some time with college buds at Segrafredo, just about my fave place to hang out with friends, I realized a few things. I realized that all this time I've been blaming everyone else for being the ditchsters that they all are, but I myself have done some ditching as well. You see the way I operate is if you stop looking for me I'll stop looking for you, big mistake. I once wrote about cultivating friendships, and sure while there are friends I tried and tried to keep up with but was pushed away, there are others whom I simply decided to just give up on.

I also learned that I need to speak up more, if something is bothering me or I'm mad because of something I should let the person know, because Lord knows they're not psychic and cannot possibly read my mind or anything of the sort, so chances are they might not even know i'm being bothered by something. I'm pretty good at pulling a "Bree" (thats Marcia Cross' character in Desperate Housewives, she tends to hide her feelings from people, I believe she thinks it denotes some sort of weakness, for a person who feels she has to be absolutely and impeccably perfect, denoting weakness is a big NO NO...so pulling a Bree would be exactly that, not showing how you truly feel by hiding it all under a smile)

So thats it..that is all I learned...I'll post some pictures later of my afternoon at Segafredo...

God bless you all! and may the Lord imparta bit of wisdom and humility in all of you!
